Like I said before when Omo said I have a "free pass" for not training when I solo parented a young kosherkickboxer: there are no free passes IMO. At least I don't want one. It's not that people don't have good excuses for not training, it's that very legit excuses haven't kept people like Kintanon and Omo from training anyway. And their the one's who have made admirable progress.

Read my post again and then tell where this rant came from?

Personally, I think there is room for specific red-name staff that do technical jobs and don't train regularly. Not everyone at Gold's Gym needs to be in shape either, at least not the person doing the books or writing the contracts.

Please see above.

I'm not concerned with whether you or Browning are current with your training or not, because the place wouldn't function without your labor, and that's why you're red-named in the first place.

LOL. This place functioned before, during and it will function if I lose my staff tag. People come people go. There is some pent up **** going on in your head, if you think I care about a training requirement being added or forfeiting being on staff.

Here is exactly what I mean by that post.
I am saying is that if we are arguing points, training videos, lack of videos, skill, training time, mod status and any other thing, it sounds petty up against a guy training in a bomb shelter.

In other words, ezerb and a few others are the only people who would be allowed to post because nothing we discuss would match that requirement.

Matt said a lot of things I wanted to say. But let me preview my response with, you did not engage in deciet. Instead, circumstances led myself and others to make wrongful assumptions. I apologize for panting you with the wrong brush.

We are all guilty of this at times. See my last post to IIF (#1452 if it's no longer the last one LOL)

Fair point. My point was that if Omo and Kint are showing up to practice with their arms in casts and slings, then even many good excuses are not actual reasons not to train, It's not a coincidence that both those two are BS.net success stories. Bringing in ezerb's story was overkill and actually blunted my point. Live and learn.

Still, his story inspires ME, and I'm ditching my excuses not to train today :P

**** I do that all of the time. Heck look at the angry Euro Bully that felt I was calling them all bitches.

Sooo much drama here is a result of this mechanism. Hell, it took me more than a year after the fight to realize that Kintanon hadn't even challenged me to a GS, but offered himself as an opponent only if I insisted on fighting someone for no good reason. No wonder he called me a douche.
